Cool. We in the Lenya land also plan to "use a kind of repository". We tried to gather all our repository interface requirements in http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=LenyaRepositoryRequirements . The last days I played around with the slide block. For example I used the SlideSource and the repository block to save and read from slide. The main lack of the repository interface or slide source was: - How to access versioning functionality I see two obvious approaches: 1.) Directly use the interface VerisonableSource which is implemented by SlideSource or use the Repository interface to create new versions etc. The problem is * The repository interface supports no methods for versioning * SlideSource does implement the VersionableSource but the appropiate method bodies are quite empty. What interests me is: What do u plan for versioning regarding the repository interface? FYI: In Lenya land we tend to use JCR in the future and think about using Slide somehow now. I think the best would be to isolate slide/jcr by a repositroy layer in cocoon. Of course WebDAV plays a role , too. I can imagine WebDAV under JCR or a raw WEBdav based repository implementation. Important is imho, that all "repositories" are isolated by a common repository interface. > > Comments, anyone? -- Regards, Rolf Kulemann
